Title	Agreement State Report - Potential Loss of an X-Ray Fluorescence Device Source
Event Description	Thermo-Niton Analyzers LLC was expecting the delivery of an X-Ray Fluorescence device. The carrier was contacted and no delivery was scheduled for that location. The carrier is reviewing records to ascertain where the package is and whether it was delivered to the licensee's previous address. The state did not know the model number of the device or if there was a radioactive source in this device. Thermo-Niton has two Massachusetts licenses: 55-0238 and 53-0388 * * UPDATE ON 1/22/2010 AT 1129 FROM TONY CARPENITO TO MARK ABRAMOVITZ * * * The following report was received via e-mail: On 1/8/10, Thermo-Niton Analyzers LLC (Thermo) of Billerica, MA, shipped a Niton Portable XRF Analyzer (Model XL-801S, SN U1834, Source IPL Model XFB Series) to REM Aerospace of Fort Lauderdale, FL.
